tmaxx 2.5 wont start only buzzes

im so angry i broke down the whole truck to find out the cause of it not starting the ez start has a fresh battery and i click it and it just buzzes!! i see the fuel going to the carb so im stuck idk what else to try does anyone have any ideas?? i have my stampede XL-5 2wd for now but i want my nitro back! please help

I've had the same issue years ago on my 2.5 Sportmaxx. After a while the little guide posts that hold the EZ start gears start to get a lot of play and that led to the gears binding up and stopping the motor which would only buzz. Good luck, let us know how it works out!

yeah i know the engine makes compression i feel the push out the pipe (exhaust) and yes both ways give compression im thinking glow plug... the wire is good i checked continuity and its good and the pug is good butttttt.... the wand shows that there is no glow plug so thats where im stuck now. the ground is grounded so its not that so im so confused i miss my t-maxx this electric 2wd stampede blows :/ but yeah if u could help me out on this issue i would be really great full i have done loads of research and all with out any avail im thinking maybe just replace ez start wire harness and glow plug and maybe buy a pull start and ignitor as backup
